***UPDATED*** SDGC19 Filmfest with Special Guests Birgit Mager & Shelley Evenson

ABOUT THE EVENT
On October 10th and 11th, more than 650 designers and thought leaders from 44 countries gathered in Toronto for the 12th annual SDN Global Conference. It was a truly inspiring two days! Once again, we are excited to bring a piece of the experience to you, with our third annual movie night — and this time we’ll be joined in person by SDN co-founders Birgit Mager and Shelley Evenson, who will headline our show!

Birgit and Shelley will give us a brief history of the Service Design Network, the conferences, and where service design trends are headed. We’ll then screen a couple of videos of talks from the conference, followed by moderated discussions. (Lucky us -- videos from the conference are made available exclusively to SDN chapters!)

Be sure to reserve your seat for this always-popular event. In true movie night fashion, popcorn and refreshments will be served!
